Entering Autos Alert

posted May 22, 2011, 6:00 PM by Weatherstone Subdivision

Please be reminded to place your purse and valuables or anything that appears to contain valuables in the trunk of your vehicle before you arrive at your destination. We've had a number of entering autos in our area (Fuller's Park, East Cobb Park, YMCA, etc.) and we don't want that becoming a trend.

From the last 5 incidents, we can see that just "hiding" valuables isn't enough....

- A window was smashed and a leather bag that turned out to be empty was taken. - A window was smashed and a purse was taken from underneath the driver’s seat. - A window was smashed and a purse was taken from the floorboard of back seat. - A window was smashed and purse taken from under the front seat. - A window smashed and a blanket in the floorboard was moved, obviously looking for a purse.
